Consider the following statements regarding Coral Polyps:
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Solution (a)
Each individual coral polyp extracts calcium carbonate from the seawater and secretes a limy skeleton around the lower half of its body.
Hence Statement 1 is correct.
Coral Polyps feed on minute animal and plant plankton. Although the coral polyp is an animal, reef-building hard corals are hosts to symbiotic algae that provide additional food for the coral polyp through photosynthesis..
Hence Statement 2 is incorrect.

Which of the following statements about ocean acidification is/are NOT CORRECT?
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Solution (c)
Ocean acidification is the ongoing decrease in the pH of the Earth’s oceans, caused by the uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere.
Hence Statement 1 is incorrect
It increases the concentration of hydrogen ions and decreases the concentration of carbonate ions.
Hence Statement 2 is correct
Ocean acidification leads to seawater shift towards pH-neutral conditions rather than a transition to acidic conditions (pH < 7).
If pH will go well below 7 the entire marine life will extinguish.
Hence Statement 3 is incorrect
